You're correct. You should expect to see an intermetallic layer in a proper solder connection. Try leaving the component at temperature for a longer period. Growth of intermetallic compounds on Cu surfaces [Klein Wassink]: d = 10^3(exp(-5*10^3/T)t^1

Optical microscope or SEM work fine. You say, "I have found out that the method of measuring intermetallic compound(IMC) formation is quite questionable." What's the issue?

Growth behaviors of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) and Kirkendall voids in Cu/Sn/Cu microbump were systematically investigated by an in-situ scanning electron microscope observation. Cu–Sn IMC total thickness increased linearly with the square root of the annealing time for 600 h at 150°C, which could be separated as first and second IMC growth steps. Our results showed that the growth behavior of the first void matched the growth behavior of second Cu6Sn5, and that the growth behavior of the second void matched that of the second Cu3Sn. It could be confirmed that double-layer Kirkendall voids growth kinetics were closely related to the Cu–Sn IMC growth mechanism in the Cu/Sn/Cu microbump, which could seriously deteriorate the mechanical and electrical reliabilities of the fine-pitch microbump systems
A technology that identifies the intermetallic compound formation, enables the system to provide closed loop feedback to the operator and validates the condition of the solder joint. This technology works in conjunction with SmartHeat® and patented C

Surface Mount Technology Association (SMTA) | https://www.smta.org/knowledge/proceedings_abstract.cfm?PROC_ID=4722
. Because of the small volume of solder employed, intermetallic compounds comprise a significant fraction of the resulting solder joint, and very fine Ag3Sn precipitate morphologies can occur
